Universities in Istanbul (metropolis)
Introduction
What are the top universities in the Turkish metropolis of Istanbul? uniRank answers this question by publishing the 2026 uniRank University Ranking of higher education institutions in Istanbul that meet the following uniRank selection criteria:
- being chartered, licensed or accredited by the appropriate higher education-related organization in Turkey
- offering at least three-year bachelor's degrees or postgraduate master's or doctoral degrees
- delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, non-distance education format
uniRank aims to provide a non-academic League Table of the top Istanbul Universities based on valid, unbiased and non-influenceable web metrics provided by independent web intelligence sources rather than data submitted by the Universities themselves.
